The North Westy Cast Aluminum Six-Quart Oil Pan is a premium, high-capacity oil pan designed specifically for Subaru engine conversions in Vanagons. This oil pan is cast locally in the Pacific Northwest using high-strength aluminum, making it an essential upgrade for any Vanagon enthusiast looking to enhance engine performance, reliability, and longevity, particularly for heavy-duty applications.
Made in house, comes with 4 AWG Alternator to Starter Wire.
Our stainless steel header is made locally out the high quality stainless steel.
Our stainless steel muffler brackets are made to mount a 6 inch diameter muffler to our engine mount system.
The North Westy stainless steel throttle bracket is made for the drive by wire engines from 2005 up. It can be used for manual and automatics. The automatic conversion requires an additional bracket for the transaxle.
The North Westy high flow stainless steel spun catalytic converter and j-pipe combo is designed to be connected to our header with the provided flex coupling and welded to the muffler.
The North Westy Stainless Steel Engine Mount is a top-tier, precision-engineered solution designed specifically for Vanagon Subaru EJ-series engine conversions. Proudly crafted in the Pacific Northwest, this mount is built with durability and longevity in mind, ensuring it will last the life of your van. It is the ultimate choice for those looking to upgrade or replace their engine mount with a product designed for superior performance and strength.
Key Features:
Material: Constructed from high-grade, corrosion-resistant stainless steel, the mount offers exceptional durability in all weather conditions, from coastal salt air to mountain snow. Stainless steel resists rust, corrosion, and fatigue far better than mild steel or aluminum alternatives.
Laser Cut & CNC Formed: Each part is laser cut for unparalleled precision and CNC formed to ensure a perfect fit every time. This high level of accuracy guarantees a flawless installation, preventing unnecessary wear or stress on other engine components.
TIG Welded: The components are TIG welded to provide the strongest and cleanest welds possible. TIG welding allows for greater control and superior finish, ensuring the mount can withstand the rigors of long-term use and high torque conditions often experienced in off-road or heavy-duty driving.
Fits EJ Series Subaru Engines: Specifically designed for the popular EJ-series Subaru four-cylinder engines, this mount ensures a seamless fit into your Vanagon chassis, simplifying the conversion process while enhancing the overall stability of the engine.
Why Stainless Steel is Superior:
When comparing materials, stainless steel is a significant upgrade over mild steel or aluminum for several key reasons:
Corrosion Resistance: Stainless steel is inherently more resistant to rust and corrosion, especially in the wet and humid conditions that vehicles in the Pacific Northwest often experience. This ensures the mount will maintain structural integrity and appearance for decades.
Strength and Durability: Stainless steel is far more durable under stress and load compared to aluminum or mild steel. It can withstand higher levels of mechanical stress without warping or weakening, making it ideal for the high-torque demands of Subaru engine conversions.
Longevity: While aluminum may be lighter, it is not as strong or resistant to wear. Over time, aluminum can suffer from fatigue and cracking under continuous load. Stainless steel, however, maintains its form and strength over time, ensuring that the North Westy Engine Mount will outlast the van itself.
Maintenance-Free: Unlike mild steel, which may require coatings or regular inspections to prevent rust, stainless steel is inherently low-maintenance, offering a fit-and-forget solution for your conversion.
Conclusion:
The North Westy Stainless Steel Engine Mount is meticulously designed and crafted in the Pacific Northwest, ensuring it meets the highest standards of quality and performance. Its use of high-grade stainless steel, combined with precision laser cutting, CNC forming, and TIG welding, makes it the superior choice for any Vanagon Subaru EJ-series engine conversion. Built to last a lifetime, this mount provides unmatched strength, durability, and corrosion resistance, ensuring your van stays on the road for years to come.
Our tuned ECU and harness is plug and play. Programmed and tested prior to shipping. This harness is for the 2006 to 2010 non-turbo engines only.
The North Westy air intake system is designed to pull cool air from the right side of the engine bay the way VW designed the intake system in gas powered vans. It includes the breather system too. This intake system is designed for the drive by wire engines from 2005 and up.
